Try using a PS4 controller. The touchpad works as a mouse.
I'd also recommend getting a wireless keyboard + mouse combo.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PS5 controller also works.
Use steam, setup a desktop profile in settings while in desktop. https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/Handheld_Wiki/ search for desktop controls.
AntiMicroX. I use it for the same reason.
If you have a mic, also consider using Talon to navigate with voice. Saying "talon wake" and "open freetube" instead of navigating with a controller saves a lot of time.
SteamOS does this when Steam is running somehow.
Maybe https://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/ still works?
It wouldn't be the end of the world to reimage it but I've got it set up with bazzite already.
